<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insider, post: 2293882, member: 24314&quot;]Amen to that Cascade!&nbsp; First off, Newbie or not, I would put some YN&#039;s (Newbies) who have attended an ANA advanced grading class up against 70% of the coin dealers and 95% of the collectors in this country when it comes to grading coins and understanding the minting process.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As I understand the process, roller marks are going to be present on any strip that goes through a rolling mill having &quot;well-used&quot; and grooved parts. They will appear on the blank striations with the same metallic color as the blank&#039;s surface.&nbsp; Any planchet with these marks that is not fully struck up will show the lines on the finished coin.&nbsp; I am not going to describe what original planchet striations look like again (see post above).&nbsp; Nevertheless, if the coin is in original condition or only slightly circulated, the lines will appear as they do on the CC dollar.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It does not matter what got into GSA holders - we are only talking about this CC dollar which anyone should see is 100% original.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I have said nothing about swirls which are not on this coin either.</p><p>I do see what looks like a reflection from the holder in the out-of-focus photo.&nbsp; There are no swirls on the sharp images.&nbsp; Also I have only said that the lines on the reverse were striations and not evidence of cleaning or PMD.&nbsp; Sean is correct. He has a nice original, interesting, probably 63 CC dollar.&nbsp; I cannot think of anymore to be said about this coin so I hope to meet some of you again on another topic.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Guess I do have two more things.&nbsp; 1. Doug have you been converted?</p><p>And... 2. IMO (I&#039;m slowly learning some of the &quot;shorthand&quot; you all use) any professional grader at a TPGS would be taken to the woodshed or sent to an ANA grading seminar if he detail graded a coin with roller marks![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
